From the last Game informer this quote confirmed it to me. “Competitive multiplayer focuses on the Spartan IV’s. Elites will not be playable.” MLG is competitive,Arena is competitive, and others are as well. Is Invasion competitive? How about BTB? It may be competitive in your eye’s but in 343’s eyes, MLG and Arena are competitive game types.
343 is well aware that a large population of Halo fans want elites in multiplayer. This news is on the forums with the post that has over 50,000 views and over 2,000 posts, all the way to Halo reach were people are making new Elite based clans just to show there support.
343 im not telling,demanding,forcing,or convincing you to put them in multiplayer, I’m just simply saying that I, and everyone els in this community recommends them in multiplayer.
I even find my self, recently, to be playing as an elite in forge and custom games, and I’ve already been asked to join an elite based clan, who’s soul purpose is to show support for elites in Infinity(Multiplayer)
They call Reach’s standard offerings competitive too and Invasion is part of that. Though to be honest it should just be called social >.> My point is your grasping at straws OP.
The title is not misleading either; it’s just that the OP can get more views.
> Competitive MP= The entirety of Halo 4’s MP.

How is the title not misleading? He said a statement that has not been confirmed to be true.
I am not doing this for views or thanks. It wouldn’t matter to me if I had 1 or 100 views as long as someone saw the point I’m trying to make, then I’m happy.

I don’t recall “Action sack” ever being competitive. Like I said In are eyes most things are competitive. You have to know the difference between a competitive game type and a fun game type. Invasion is fun because it was new and interesting, there is no competitive community that refers Invasion as a competitive game type but more of a fun one.

-.- i mean that when GI said “Competitive MP” it was the entirety of Infinity. I was trying to say that “competitive” won’t mean the same as in Reach and can’t be applied to Halo 4, since we know little of it’s MM. I know the difference between fun gametypes and hardcore ones thank you very much (grifball is fun and casual, MLG is fun but much more serious and competitive).
Before you call me an Elite hater, I’ve seen that gigantic thread and while i don’t care about Elites too much, i am not going to ignore the fact that people want them back and how popular they are. I think it’s silly some won’t buy Halo 4 because of that but who am I to judge? Just one less person i have to carry in MP i say
I see your reasoning and I agree I don’t take anyone as an elite hater, they are Halo, and Ive never met anyone say they hate elites. When you said that’s one less person in multiplayer if they don’t buy it. That’s one less friend for me to play with, I have friends that actually won’t buy they game if elites aren’t playable.
Before I thought they were crazy but after talking to them they brought up some interesting points and reasoning to the conversation. They don’t use the forums much so I thought I would bring up this post to ensure people Sangheili are in multiplayer, Just not competitive.
I find it a good thing that they’re only concentrating on Spartans this time around and taking out Elites completely. I mean, let’s face it, Elites have been getting the short end of the stick ever since they were introduced in Halo 2 as multiplayer characters, and it’s quite unlikely that they would end up being exactly on-par with Spartans in future Halo games were they to be included in multiplayer. By taking them out completely, people won’t complain that Elites aren’t getting enough armour customization variety or how their hitboxes are too big/unfair.
Yes, I did enjoy playing as an Elite for a large part of my Halo 3 multiplayer career, but not having them in Halo 4 really doesn’t bother me too much.

Well i am glad i actually made sense because i feared my way of explaining things was…rough to say the least. lol
Seeing it from your point of view, that would…suck not having more people to play with. I am not entirely unsympathetic because any game with friends is much more fun than going solo. They tend to drag on when you are alone
Thank you for being kind. It’s opened my eyes to a new perspective on the side of things. It’s just that it won’t stop me from buying teh Halo 4.

And thank you for seeing it in my point of view, I’ll be buying the game regardless but I still support the elite community out there and now all I have to do is show my friends the reasoning of why and how there going to be in multiplayer. Like the other Gigantic thread user said there is a way to tie in the Elites story with the Spartans in multiplayer without making a mess.
Mistakes happen, i won’t chew your head off.
